So this morning I thought I had a stone in the tyre, but realised it went away on even a slight left hand bend, so though it must be something effected by angle of suspension and therefore wheel or driveshaft related. I had a quick look as I had a train to catch.

I noticed that there is a clip on the leading edge of the lower wishbone that sits right next to the wheelrim that holds what I assume is the brake hose. It was a bit broken up with a bit sticking out and I assume that was what is catching. I checked round the other side and there was no clip there, so the brake hose is free to rub on the wishbone. I assume there should be one there too. Does anyone know the type of clip I need to get this sorted out?

I also noticed how close the throttle cable passes the right driveshaft, is that supposed to be attached to anything down there?

panic over, it is only the handbrake cable and can be rectified with a couple of zip ties either side of the stud.
